Ever wish you could connect with a teen about to “age out” of foster care? We are looking for groups of 4-5 adults interested in meeting with a teen in foster care at least twice a month to share life experience and be a sounding board.
Please join us for a brief (10 minute) introduction session on becoming a LifeLaunch family group on April 17th at 6:30pm at the Spero Resource Center, 4646 NE Santa Fe, Oklahoma City.
If you are interested, stay for the training to begin at 7pm sharp!
All LifeLaunch families will be invited to celebrate with the foster grads at FLUX 2012!

Gearing up for FLUX 2012 and it’s going to be better than ever! Oklahoma has grown from serving 8046 (last year) to 8308 (this year) children in foster care. The need is greater than ever to support and celebrate these amazing individuals!

Stay tuned for notes from the first planning meeting and dates to get approved to serve at FLUX!

We have already begun our campaign to support FLUX efforts and can accept your online donation at OK Foster Wishes or mail a check to OKFW attn;FLUX, PO Box 30501, Edmond, OK 73003

Did you know that approximately 50% of kids in foster care ever graduate from high school and less than 2% go on to finish college or trade school. These kids have beaten the odds! They are over-comers! We are proud to honor their accomplishment to better themselves!

It’s not too late if you would like to contribute to celebrating this accomplishment. Please contact us at okfosterwishes@gmail.com to make a contribution and/or donation!
